But scratches wont rust where as chiups will, Make you wonder the lesser of the two evils.
Your hood won't scratch from the bra, it will deform the paint because it won't be exposed to any sunlight and water will get trapped underneath. You spent $20k on the car, if you have any desire to keep it you should probably pay the bucks to protect it properly.
